I would suggest the AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE. No point in buying a 940 since the 955 uses a newer chipset, and performs better for $165. Go with the i5 if you're looking for performance not only in games. TBH I don't see why you would need to spend $115 dollars on RAM when you can get a nice pair of sticks for $90 (Prices change very often). I mean, sure you can go ahead and buy RAM with tighter timings, but I'd rather go with a cheaper pair that'll get the job done just fine.
The rest looks fine, I'd go with a OCZ or Corsair PSU over any Antec though. Not to mention that there are better options IMO over the NZXT case. Just go with a Coolermaster HAF 922/Antec 900/Antec 300/Coolermaster 690 or some other coolermaster case like everyone else. Not saying that the NZXT is crap though, as long as it has all the features you need at a cheaper price.
